# Get a media-library folder by ID

`GET /v1/asset-folders/{folder_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com`
- URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com/v1/asset-folders/{folder_id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `bird_session`

Returns one folder from the workspace's media library, including its resolved path. A deleted folder is not returned.

## Path parameters

- `folder_id` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Workspace-Id` string
- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Response `200`

The folder.

- AssetFolder: A folder in the workspace's media library. Folders organize assets for the people browsing them and never appear in an asset's URL, so moving an asset between folders leaves every message that already embeds it untouched.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `id` string, required
  - `name` string, required: The folder's display name. Unique among folders sharing the same parent, compared without regard to case.
  - `parent_id` string, required
  - `path` string, required: The folder's location written out from the top level, such as `/Marketing/Logos`. Provided so a caller can display a folder without walking its parents.
